Arts
Upper school semester elective. Students will be required to spend four hours outside of class at work parties or similar production events over the course of the semester.

In this course, students will work as a production team to design, coordinate, and construct the technical elements for productions and concert events in the Fulton Performing Arts Center. Students will be involved in all phases of each project. The design process includes script analysis, brainstorming, design selection and creating construction drawings or models. The construction process involves skills of carpentry, painting, rigging flown in scenery, and special effects. Additionally, students develop working knowledge of lighting and sound aspects of theater. Finally, Stagecraft is involved in the strike of all scenery, properties, lighting, sound and special effects. This course is designed for students who wish to have a hands-on experience in “making theater happen.”
